Just asking, but who do you think is our best AD ever and why?

Did not end well due to complacency but RV brought the Athletic Programs up with some of his early hires and retentions.

Hayden Fry, not even close. 

He changed the whole program culture...created new, innovative marketing, found big donors like Rex Cauble, Willie Nelson and Bob Hope, inspired the city of Denton like never before or since.   And he had never been an AD before this job at NT as both HC and AD.

I think I heard he didn't really want to be the AD, would rather just be a coach.

I did recently see the million-dollar donation to the athletics department for the expansion project. Kudos to JM for landing that and thank you to the family that donated that money. Need more of that, as it is the second most important part of his job behind creating winning programs.

Totally agree.  I am thinking they have been making some progress with facility funding and that is important.  Good facilities will break an NIL money tie between two G5 clubs.

It's my understanding that the only way we could afford Fry was to combine the salaries of both jobs. After he left they were split again.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      Not trying to sound like too much of an ass but I'm starting not to care how it impacts high school kids. Many of these are the same kids that you will give a chance to and then they have a good season after one or two years and leave. So if rightly so they are looking after what is best for them universities should be looking out what's best for them and recruit players who are most ready to step on the field and help them play. PS also have an issue with some of these high school coaches who complain that colleges are not recruiting their kids as much but don't seem to want to bring up the fact that those same kids if they're giving the opportunity will leave a smaller school without hesitation if something better comes along for them.

      I had heard one opinion that players is eligibility ran out and are no longer in schools could have a recourse to try to regain some eligibility. This is freaking ridiculous.

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Keeping it real. I like that he's honest with our players.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --
